1st service in new church

Good morning, Ladybugs.  Yes, today we will be having our first service in our new church, but sadly it is a funeral service for one of members, 83 yr old Ethel.  She was so looking forward to being in our new facility, so it is only right that the very first service being held there would be for her.  It will be a time of sadness but of rejoicing, too. 


The sun is shining, but it is still very cold---36 degrees I believe.  Spring, where art thou?


We'll be going to Fla. next week, so hope the weather clears up by then!!

Awwwww...sad but appropriate Shari.

I know how long you've been waiting to get into that new church...enjoy the beauty and grace. Do you have a new Pastor yet?

I bet you can't wait to get to FL. I'd love to be down there too!

Hopefully Ethel is in a better place. I bet she would be very happy to know hers was the first service.


I know you all are so happy to finally be in the new church, but terribly sad with the passing of Ethel.
